Since WPMU and WP merged code bases, things have come a long way. Starting with version 4.0, the plugin should now be installed in the standard “plugin” folder and activated “Network Wide” and requires WordPress 3.2+. This will allow for much easier installations and also notifications of upgrades.

Now, for those of you that are running this plugin currently – don’t worry, the migration is fairly simple.

Make sure you have a network admin enabled non-ldap account setup and available in the blog

Remove the current plugin from mu-plugins (all configuration options will stay in the WP database)

Install version 4.x of the plugin into the standard plugins folder

Network Activate the plugin

Thats it! The plugin should now be re-activated with all of your previous settings.

I have fixed a few of the minor bugs that have popped up. See the changelog for details. I have also correctly bumped the revision number in the scripts (sorry about that).

As a reminder, the plugin should be installed in the “mu-plugins” folder. This folder does not exist by default in 3.x – but you can create it (wp-content/mu-plugins). See the documentation for more info.

The plugin can be download from the Sourceforge project page. As always, I hope you enjoy it and please report any problems or suggestions you might have!

With the release of wordpress 3.1, some of the core functions the plugins used had to be modified. Because of this, the 3.1 release of the plugin is *only* available with WordPress 3.1 and newer. If you are still using WordPress 3.0.x, this plugin is not for you.

The main change in this release is the ability for pages to show on the network admin page, instead of the site admin page.

After much work and preparation, the 3.0 plugin is ready to go. Most of the kinks should be worked out of it, but if you notice anything please let me know! Just like the previous versions, the plugin must be installed in the “mu-plugins” folder. The only difference with WP 3.0, is that the folder does not exist by default. You will need to create the “mu-plugins” folder under “wp-content”. Drop the files in there and you should be good to go!

The plugin also now supports basic group authentication for both allow and deny groups. Thanks to the help of Ken Newquist, we were able to test this extensively across both Active Directory and OpenLDAP platforms. Example configurations are available on the Documentation page.

Other fixes and changes included in this release:

Basic deny/allow group logic

Changed bulk add logic to not automatically create blogs if the option is enabled – wordpress does not support this functionality

Fixed issues with connection check not working when plugin is not enabled

Fixed typo in default ldaps port in the documentation

Fixed issue where local users would still attempt to authenticate against ldap

The latest version of the WPMU Ldap plugin is now available for download. This is a minor bugfix release – see the changlog for full details. Even though the plugin version is 2.9 – it should continue to work with the 2.8 series of WPMU.

The latest version of the WPMU Ldap plugin is now available for download. What happened to 2.8? Since WPMU jumped right to 2.8.1, we will too! This version contains minor bugfixes and a few new features. This release further integrates into the new WPMU 2.8.1 release. The full list of changes are:

In order for users to be able to modify their display name, the display_name value has been modified to edit the value directly in the users db table. Because of this, you will need to run the function on the “Upgrade” tab to migrate over the existing values.
